Hello everyone!

A few weeks back I actually thrifted this lovely floral dress for just a few dollars, and have now just gotten around to wearing it. I was perplexed at first on how to style it because I wanted it to have a very vintage feel to it, but I was cautious because this dress can easily make me look much, much older (in a bad way) if it isn't styled correctly. I figured the best way to go was in all out vintage with the accessories and hair.

I was quite proud of the hairstyle I did. I watched a wonderful tutorial from Casey's Elegant Musings on how to do a romantic, braided updo. I was skeptical because it looked complicated and not to mention I am absolutely horrid at doing my own hair, but it was a surprisingly easy style to do!

wow i was looking through your blog, and i just thought we must be soul sisters. my style icons are the same as yours. sorry if i sound mental or something, its just surprising to know someone else likes the things i like
